Musker has designed and delivered data literacy programmes to high-profile customers, including CBRE UK’s top 30 managers and the entire 800+ staff of The Pensions Regulator, inspiring audiences to embrace the potential of data and developing data initiatives to deliver business value.
Rich Pugh, a DataIQ 100 member, stated: “Gabe leverages his strong academic background in data to bridge the gap between the art of the possible and realistic business ambitions, acting as a translator for data practitioners and business stakeholders of all seniorities. He mixes this with a common-sense approach, using his natural instincts, high levels of empathy and fierce attention to detail to ensure an excellent quality of output and robust personal relationships with Ascent’s customers.”
It is Musker’s ability to empathise and connect with people through simple language that resonates, and his inclusive, warm personality quickly builds rapport. Colleagues have noted that Musker consistently demonstrates a level of skill and experience far beyond expectation, actively seeks out customer engagement and regularly demonstrates excellent leadership skills.
The Ascent team stated: “In our experience, data doesn’t deliver value by itself; it needs a strong communicator to guide the way. Gabe has more than proven himself in this role, and we know he’ll continue to thrive and improve every day.”
